24 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

24 8th Avenue is a historic four-story building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, built in 1883 and currently configured as an 8-unit Class A property. The building's recent maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues.

In January 2021, both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development reportedly could not gain access to the affected units to verify the conditions. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with two consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations are noted as closed.

However, more recent bedbug reporting from December 2024 indicates zero infestations or related issues in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), suggesting improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. A historical rodent inspection conducted in August 2010 passed without any noted issues. While the building's management has seemingly improved its bedbug reporting compliance, the history of heat and hot water complaints, particularly the 2021 incident, raises concerns about the building's heating system reliability, though more recent complaints specifically about heating issues have not been documented in the available records up to October 2023.
